1. My friend’s mom tags me in mad posts about all the pies shes making

2. Whenever people have food they don’t want, they offer it to me knowing I will always take free food. People learn this fact about me very quickly- this happens even if I’ve only known the person for a couple days.

3. Any food left out somewhere, like the break room table at work– if it’s free, I will eat it. Regardless of how much I actually like it or how old it is.

4. I have to “kill things” like finishing the end of a bag of a snack or the rest of a condiment (and therefore I also have to kill everything that goes with it). It’s partly because don’t like leaving just a small amount, and partly an excuse to eat more.

5. A specific example of a food habit of mine:
One day, my boss told me we were having a lunch meeting, but I didn’t trust her to come through with the food, so I ate lunch first because the thought of sitting through a meeting without food frightened me. But then they did give me lunch, so I had a second lunch so as not to be rude, and because it was delicious.

6. My friends text me just to tell me what they’re eating.

7. One friend messaged me to tell me “Every time I eat I think about you. Is that weird?”

If you don’t know, LARP stands for Live Action Role Play (the kind of thing you see at Renaissance fairs and in that movie Rolemodels). It’s based on the game Dungeons and Dragons, which I’ve never played. I really didn’t know anything about LARPing before I did it, so I bet a lot of people are similarly bereft of this important knowledge. But who knows if you’ll ever go to a LARP yourself, so here is your window into that world.

I went to a weekend-long LARP last month– the details are specific to the one I went to; I’ve never been to any others so I don’t know if other LARP organizers do it differently.
